Databases supported by SAP

There is a huge
variety of supported database systems (in brackets you can find SAP code of
particular DB system, this code is internal mark of DB, e.g. in debugger you
can see it as value of variable sy-dbsys):

All information related to supported operation and
database systems see on SDN.

As SAP
acquired Sybase in first half of year 2011 there is a new DB platform supported
soon. Yep, it will be Sybase's Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE). Previously
this DB was called Sybase SQL Server. BTW that's the DB which has same roots as
Microsoft SQL Server. According SDN's
DB page SAP is porting its Business Suite (SAP ERP 6.05) application to
Sybase ASE. This was supposed to be done in June 2011. Other SAP’s products
supporting Sybase ASE will be CRM and SRM.

SAP is currently porting BW to
Sybase ASE DB as well. There are couple of Notes
pointing to that:

SAP is
currently porting its BW product to HANA database. Rump up program for
customers to run BW on HANA as its database start in Nov. 2011. From that point
of view SAP is being supporting another database.

SAP BW as of 7.3 is also capable to run on Teradata database. It is possible via technology called Bridge System. This possibility appeared beginning of year 2011. For details see Notes: 1560115 - Teradata Foundation for BW : Composite BW Note, 1557211 - Composite note for Teradata Foundation. Also see SAP Notes of component: BW-SYS-DB-TD
